E E7
It's the first time that I've been here,
A
Since I was here with him.
F#m C#m
I remember all the wild flowers,
A B
Wavin' in the wind.
E E7
Life was an undiscovered river:
A E/G# F#m Bsus B
I was jumpin' in head first.
E B/D#
It was sink or swim; do or die;
C#m B
Sneakin' out on summer nights,
A E/G#
Stealin' wine from my Pa,
B
The thrill of not gettin' caught.
E B/D#
An' now an' then I miss those days,
C#m B
But comin' back to this place,
A E/G# F#m
I realise it ain't him I miss,
A B E A F#m
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah.
E E7
We ran off to the corn field,
A
Just outside the county fair;
F#m C#m
There were butterflies in my stomach,
A B
An' fireflies in the air.
E E7
He tried hard not to show it,
A E/G# F#m Bsus B
Oh, but he was just as scared as me.
E B/D#
And it was sink or swim; do or die;
C#m B
Sneakin' out on summer nights,
A E/G#
Stealin' wine from my Pa,
B
The thrill of not gettin' caught.
E B/D#
An' now an' then I miss those days,
C#m B
But comin' back to this place,
A E/G# F#m
I realise it ain't him I miss,
A B E
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah.
A B
And coming here has made me come to this:
A B
The one thing I can't get back is the one thing I miss, yeah.
E B/D#
An' it was breakin' rules, flyin' blind;
C#m B
What you see through younger eyes;
A E/G#
It wasn't what I thought it was,
B
Man, I swore he was the one.
E B/D#
An' now an' then I miss those days,
C#m B
But comin' back to this place,
A E/G# F#m
I realise it ain't him I miss,
A B E E7
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah
A B E E7 A
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love, one time innocence, yeah
E E7 A F#m
It's that innocence
